A French Mode of Cooking Green Peas Recipe ingredients

To prepare this A French Mode of Cooking Green Peas Recipe, first melt one ounce of fresh butter in a saucepan. When it is dissolved without being the least colored, throw in a quart of peas. Shake them over the fire for a minute or two, then pour over them as much boiling water or weak stock as will barely cover them; add half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper, the heart of a lettuce finely shred, 3 young onions, and a small sprig of parsley. Simmer gently until the peas are tender. Take the saucepan from the fire for a minute, and in order to thicken the sauce stir in the well-beaten yolks of 3 eggs. The peas must not boil up after the eggs are added. Serve the peas on a hot dish with the sauce poured over them. Time, half an hour. Sufficient for four or five persons.
